                              Had it for 1 year because of the battery. It once started to drop really fast but the E5 wasnt overheating. Ot the shut off and it doesnt show the battery symbol and the red light flickers. Actually, the thing was dead and the charging port was bent. Still recovered my stuff amd moved on to Xperia XA. I still have it but i can't fix it.

                                  That's camera shutter and other phones, just like actual cameras, do that noise.

                                      Pretty okay for the price I guess, but there's better phones you can find for the price of this one. First seems to work fine, but I immedietly noticed that charging took a lot longer and the battery drained very fast. Some apps like snapchat can cause the phone to overheat pretty badly, the camera also makes this weird click noise everytime you use it. Battery problems happen a lot, sometimes it will run out of battery while you're charging it. Pretty slow and the camera isnt all that great.
